According to the Polynesian Huna mysticism of ancient Hawaii, everything and everyone is connected to every other thing and person. Whether you call these connections “relationships,” or “attractions,” or “gravity,” or ‘love,” or even the “super strings” of quantum physics, many of us have sensed these links in our own lives.
The Huna called this tradition Ho’omana. “Ho’” means “to make;” while “Mana” means “life force.” This is roughly equivalent to “Ki” in Japanese, “Chi” in Chinese, or “Shakti” in Sanskrit. In that tradition, these connections were known as “Aka Cords.” These have been described as a sticky, elastic connecting substance which conducts vital force and thoughts over its threads and cords. They are how people are connected, how we exchange empathy, love, information and energy.
Whether you believe in Aka cords or not, I am sure you have sensed strong connections with some of the people in your lives. These may have involved shared energy and emotions. Perhaps your spouse or your best friend; or maybe your mother or father. These kinds of relationships can be immensely powerful sources of strength in our lives.
On the other hand, these psychic connections can be negative. They can draw energy away from us and can be truly exhausting. This could be the critical co-worker – or parent – or spouse – or boss — or “friend.”
